SENATE AND GLADIATOR MINES.
G. A. Philbrick came down from
Galena last Wednesday and gives
us some news Of that country. The
Senate mine has some ore in sight
of pretty high grade. The compa-
ny has a lease on the Gladiator.
The tunnel commenced by the To-
Gators had not been worked to any
extent until this last summer,
when the Senate company COM
menced on the tunnel and pushed
it for 16O feet, and are now within
80 feet from the ledge as per sur
veys. In the tunnel they have cut
one streak, which is of solid galena
ore of high grade. The ledge on
the surface is large and of first
class ore, and, when reached through
the tunnel, will strike a valuable
deposit. The company is now
short Of men, but Mr.. Philbrick,
who is in town, is ready to employ
men.
DEER CREEK.
J. A. Meadows was in Ketchum
last Thursday and gave flattering
accounts of the mines on Deer
creek. He says: The Nettie mine,
between the Narrow Gauges and
Bullion, worked on lease by Shadd
& Co., have been taking out ore all
winter. Their last shipment was
fifty tons, and will average $3.50
per ton. Other mines in the vicin-
ity all look we'll, and good returns
may be expected the coming sum-
mer.

an argument before the senate com
mite on territories in favor Of cut
ting off the northern part of Idaho
and give it to Washington. The
bill passed the house over a year
ago and has now been favorably
reported to the senate: Protests
against any division of Idaho have
been flowing in upon both branches
of congress. Stewart is urging the
passage of the bill with the pan

Rising From its Ruins

Five months have elapsed since Charl, s.
ton was visited by one of the greatest cal
amities that has ever afflicted an Ameri-
can city. The story of the terrible disas
ter has been told over and over again. s
too, has has been told the story o. the low
ing, practical sympathy of the American
people, sympathy which found expires
sion in golden food of charity. 1t was
not until Charleston held up her hands
and stayed the flood that it ceased to flow
in upon US. At that time over $500, 900
had been contributed. of which $500, 900
in round numbers was set apart for the
rebuilding of the homes of those who
would otherwise have been home ess, and
nearly 5000 900 for the rebuilding of the
churches The reliei committee generous
" set apart 100000 of the relet fund to
aid the city in rebuilding its hospitals,
almshouses and other institutions devoted
to the care of the sick and INDECENT poor
of the city. At the end Of five months
much has been done to restore the city to
its former condition. The damages by
the earthquake were roughly estimated at
$5,0O0,000. The aid so lavishly and gen
erously poured into Charleston has enabled
those who could not do so with their linn
tied means to rebuild their houses, while
others who were able have also not been
idle. Since the night of the 3lst of Aug
ust. 1886, the city has risen from its ruins.

A just Veto.

The action of the President in vetoing
what is known as the Dependent Pension
Bill recently passed by Congress is in
keeping with the firm and fearless course
he has laid out for himself from the be-
ginning Of his administration in guarding
the great trust placed in his hands 10y the
American people. From the first be has
seemed to look solely to the true welfare
and happiness of the whole people; and
while he has shown clear purpose to be
guided in bis political action by the doc
trines and principles of the Democratic
party, he has yet kept himself quite above
he status of the mere politician bidding
for popularity.
The bill which the President has thus
defeated, would have placed heavy bur
den upon the treasury. II proposed to
extend much further the scope of the pen
sion laws, so as to include collateral rela-
tives and dependents of the disabled SOL
diers and would have swelled to much
greater proportions the already heavy an
nual drafts upon the treasury in behalf of
the disabled soldiery. To grant life pro-
visions to disabled soldiers and to those
Immediately dependent for support upon
the men who lost their lives in defense of
the Republic, is eminently just and pro-
per; but, like all other good deeds, may
be pushed to an excess. The laws already
passed for this purpose and now in oper-
alton make abundant provision in this
behalf; indeed they are said to be more
liberal than any nation on the globe has
ever made in this regard. The pension
laws already impose very heavy burden
upon the people and are abundant proof
that this Republic at least is not amena-
BILE to the charge of ingratitude.
The recent bill is said to have been ori-
ginated in the lobby, and was taken up
by the Republicans with a view OF Grip
pling the economical policy Of the Demo
cratic administration. Many Southern
Democrats, as in former pension legisla-
ton, were induced by motives of suppos-
ed deicacy to give it a passive support :;
and many from the North, from fear OF
the all potent soldier vote, consented to
its passage. But the better sentiment in
both political parties denounced the bill
as bad and uacalled for measure. The
President in thus assuming the response
bility of defeating the bill has bravely
discharged the duties of bis executive Of
fee, and will have the commcndation of
the country. There is no prospect of the
bill being passed over the veto.

EQUALIZATION of Taxation.

The Maryland State Farmers Associa-
tion which met in Baltimore in January,
authorized its President to appoint a
committee on taxation.
Governor Hamilton, the president, has
Just selected the following named gentle
men as the committee: Edward Stake, OF
Washington county; DR.. w. W. Waring
of Prince Georges county; Thomas F
Shepherd, of Carroll county; DR.. R. c.
Mackall, of Cecil county; Henry C. Halo,
well, of Montgomery county; DR.. J. T.
Adkins, of Talbot county, and Samuel
Brooks. of Anne Arundel county.
The object expected to be accomplished
by the committee is the preparation of q
law, to be submitted and pressed upon
the attention of the next Legislature, for
a radical change in the assessment and
taxation of property in this State, a sys-
TEN that will relieve the agricultural in
terests of the State from the present unjust
and unequal tax imposed upon them. A
member of the committee states that law
is now in course of preparation which
provides not only for the taxation OF
mortgages, but of all kinds of properly,
and plan by which the only improve
ments on agricultural lands that are to be
taxed, will be the improvements that add
to the agricultural value of land. The
law also proposes system of annual list
ing, by which every person in the State
shall annually list or report himself and
property for taxation. The necessity fol
some relief from the present system Of un.
equal taxation is severely felt, and from
the reputation of the gentlemen compes
ing the committee for intelligence, busi.
ness experience and knowledge of the con
dition of the farming interests OF the State
there is every reason to expect that relie
will be obtained.

The Senate bill for the redemption and
recoinage of the trade dollar, which was
passed in the House of Representatives on
Saturday by vote of ia to 3G, provides
that for period of six months after its
passage trade dollars, if not defaced, mu-
tilated or stamped, shall be received at
their face value for all dues to the United
States. The coin shall then be retired
from circulation. During the same per-
iod such unmutiiated coins will also be
received at the treasury of the United
States in exchange for a like amount of
standard silver dollars or subsidiary coin
age, All the trade dollars so redeemed
must be recoined into standard silver dol
lars or subsidiary coinage, but such re-
coinage shall not be considered as part Of
the silver bullion required to be purchas-
ed monthly and coined into standard dol
lars. The bill repeals all laws authoriz-
ing the issuance of trade dollars.

The Next Candidate.

Smith NJ. Weed, on whom the mantle
of democratic leadership in New York
seems to have been placed, and who re.
ceived last month the vote OF the democra.
tic members of the Legislature for United
States Senator. declares in public inter
view that in his opinion President Cleve
land will not be a candidate fer reelection
and that in proper time be will write a
letter, declining to be a candidate Mr..
Weed says that in such an event New
York's choice for Presi lent would be Gov.
Hill.
1t wjIs 5fgs9bersd0iet j. all his
Clevela' hads purpose of
refusing td Candidate for a second
term. He has at least paved the way for
a retirement in good order if for any rea-
son be should think proper to do SO.
That Mr.. Cleveland's administration has
been already rewarded with large meas
ure of success there Is now little room to
doubt. Considering the firm stand be has
taken in reversing old party usages and
restraining the abuses in the civil service
which had been brought about by
the spoils system. the small amount of
friction which has resulted is remarkable
and is evidence that the frmness which
has characterized the policy of the admin
istration has been tempered by wisdom
and sagacity.
Should Mr.. Cleyeland's administration
continue to be rewarded with the same
measure of success it has thus far attained.
the temptation to seek election may be
so great as 10 alter what seems TO have
been his original purpose. But the prob
abilities are that Mr.. Cleveland will not
again be a candidate; and, in the event OF
his declina,ion, there is little doubt that
New York will ag.in be acceeded the
privilege Of naming the Presidential cand.
idate and that her choice will fall upon
Gov. Hill. As the Governor of the Empire
State for the last two years, Mr.. Hill has
developed executive abilities of high
character. While loyal supporter of the
Cleveland administration, it is said that
he is not so liberal in his civil-service re-
form ideas as Mr.. Cleveland, and for that
reason he would probably be more accept
able to party men.
